"Make sure you don't trip whiles walking out, after all last moments are dangerous" The bully who had thrown me down the stairs said as he laughed with his friends. Because of him I had burned through half my savings on health cheks, I'm not one to easily calm when I'm angry so with my little willpower I didn't attack instead I held up my middle finger and said "Bet you can't tell how many fingers are up" the bully, hearing my taunt charged at me but speed isn't his game. I jumped behind him and thought to myself "This is the perfect time to book it" but I failed to register his speeding fist which hit me in the stomach, I zoomed through the hallway into the lobby then into a wall. The atmosphere became dusty, through the dust I saw a fragile hand reach out to me, to help me up, I was about to grab the hand and get up but the hand quickly shot away from me, the owner being a girl in my class, she has the ability to heal. The girl quickly went to her friends, "I can't believe you tried to help him" one of her friend said "I didn't know it was him" she snapped at them as they walked out of ear shot. "Well F my life" I said as I got up myself and walked towards the exit "After all I've completed school"
"In this world we were once at war with someone aliens and at first we were losing, they had more advanced technology, as the war raged on with us getting on the edge of defeat, a group of people 'awakened', they had super powers like fire manipulation, super strength etc, they then shared their powers with us mere mortal, we turned tables and won the war, we also got a huge technological leap, thinking we might one day need these powers they created power books, so that you can learn, now you need to pay for a power book, the government keeping the top tier ones while the low ranks are sold to public, If you ain't rich you ain't gonna get strong powers"
I reminded myself as I reached my apartment and unlocked the door. Once in, I threw my bag onto the sofa, walked over to my desk where an old book lay. Since I received this book I've been trying to open it, I downloaded an app called webnovel, I know you shouldn't take advice from an app meant for stories but I did, after all what's not real in this world, I did what the character from a story 'My vampire system' did and dropped some of my blood in it, that was when everything else I did failed and that didn't work. "I swear if this book doesn't change my life, I'll pull my fucking eyes out and-" I didn't finish my sentence then the book opened up with a bright light then a shockwave threw me to the corner of the room
after what felt like an eternity the light died down and I saw a system
<[VS], I see you read about another nobody>
the moment I read through it a bandana materialized into my hand
The system switched "How the hell will I see I mumbled"
conflicted I used the bandana to cover my eyes
the system punned "I'm nowhere near a beach" I mumbled but truly I could see as if nothing is blocking my view "Wait you're changing on your own accord" I said realizing I've been talking with the system
the system changed. Before I could say anything else there was loud banging on the door "I forgot, when you complete school no matter what you want to be in future, you join the army" I said as the system faded away and I took my prepacked traveling bag and dashed into the waiting hover bus not forgetting my keys, once in I run to the empty back seat and sat there
the system popped up in front of me, "Not now" I thought
the system changed then faded away
I looked trying to see if I'll recognize anyone but no one stuck out, the bus soon started to move then people started sleeping
The system popped up, I quickly held my breath as I saw everyone just pass out
The bus driver put the bus on autopilot and walked up to me, the only one holding my breath and said "You are smart but you should've inhaled the gas" then he punched me
